Our Mission

The mission of Blessed Trinity School is to foster Christian leadership by witnessing the Gospel message and embracing the stewardship way of life. We strive for moral and academic excellence as we reach out to the community as Christ's disciples.

Faith Formation

CATECHIST CERTIFIED INSTRUCTION

A distinctive quality of Blessed Trinity School is its commitment to the building of a faith community.  The faculty and staff understand they have been “called” to the ministry of Catholic education.  This means they do not only teach academia, but also strive to provide an atmosphere that freely shares faith in Jesus Christ, prayer and service to others.   Blessed Trinity staff members also participate in the Diocesan Catechist Training Program.  This program offers three levels of catechist certification.  All faculty and staff are required to earn at minimum, a basic catechist certification (a total of six 10 hour courses) – while religion teachers are required to attain master certification (a total of eighteen 10-hour courses).   

FRIDAY ALL-SCHOOL MASS

Faculty, staff, students and parents attend a Friday Mass at 8:30 a.m.  Students in grades K-8 prepare and participate in this weekly Liturgy and other special occasions. Students serve as ushers, lectors, and altar servers and often lead the student congregation in a song or perform a small skit to reinforce the Liturgy of the Word.  The four year-olds from Angels-in-Arms accompany our 4^th grade students to mass as prayer partners as well.

PRAYER

 Prayer is an integral part of school life at Blessed Trinity School.  The morning announcements include information about saints, feast days and special observances, a reading from the Gospels, and two school-wide prayers, usually the Our Father and a Blessing for Birthdays.  Before lunch each class meets together for prayer.   At the end of the day the principal leads the students in prayer, a scripture reading, a reflective piece, or a thought for the day.

RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION

Religious instruction focuses on God’s love for us, loving and serving as Jesus did, living as Christians, and what it means tobe faithful stewards.  Special emphasis is placed on living

as Catholic Christians as well as understanding and preparing for the sacraments.

The religion program uses the RCL Benziger Faith and Word textbook series. Classes plan and conduct weekly school liturgies, weekly prayer services in the classrooms, daily oral lessons on character development, regular school-wide penance services, and special seasonal programs for Thanksgiving, Christmas, the Stations of the Cross during Lent, and a Holy Thursday service.
